Harman-SUPPORT.

. To `all 'whom 'it may concern:

Bel it known that I, WILLIAM Goss, a

' Citizen ofthe :United states, residihgat Chicago, in the county of Coo-kend Statel of Illinois, have-inventedv a certain new and useful Improvement in Hanger-Supports, kof `which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification.

yMy invention relates to hanger supports and more particularlyI is associated with means for supporting, from a ceiling or othersimilar means of supporting, interior decorations o-r fixtures.

My invention in its broad aspect comi prises a channeled member adapted Jfor placing within masonry or concrete or similar material which delines the outline of the concrete and provides a duct or channel lwithin which lthese supporting means are held, and within which they are adjustably mounted. Y My invention contemplates that the chan- -nel or run way project into the concrete or cement and thus be'securely retained therein so that the supporting means are rigidly supported. In the construction of cement ceilings for instance, it is desirable thatv the channel or slot be formed therein as the concrete is being put into place, and my invention contemplates that a suitable metal lining for the slot be placed upon.- the centering or' false woodwork which confines the cementor concrete as it is shoveled into place. My' improved device preferably with the supporting means or bolt inplace is 4mounted upon this false woodwork and the concrete'then filled in. By'means' of my .device the ,supporting means are so mounted therein and the space left unoccupied by concrete is Vof such a character that the device together with its'bolt mayvfbe lmounted iny place and the concrete' then werk s removed and the bolt vassumes its placed around it, whereafte'r'the false wood- V A normal position in which it projects beyond the space occupied by the temporary wood t Se.

work.

I will explain my invention more 1n deillustratingk 1 one embodiment 4 ,Figurel 1s an end view partly in section of my' improved device mounted in place;

.Fig a is;Y 'a longitudinal Sectional viewf thereof. y

As shown in the illustrations, I ,use a metal devicev which forms the lining for concrete 1, and which consists of a preferl ably rectangular portion 2 forming a chimnel or slot which is partly closed alongfil's lower edge, but is left open to provid`a slot 3. 4From the extremities of this slot 3 two diverging 'aprons 4, extend downwardly and end in preferably horizontal extensions 5, 5. By* means f of the hori. zontal extensions 5, 5, the device may be mounted upon the false woodwork or centering, not shown herein, whichI is irst mounted 'in place to confine the space octhereof; and Fig. 3 is a perspective vlew cupied by the concrete or cementto-be sh oveled in later.

in place, and-my Improved device mounted vided, concrete is filled in and the centering removed which thereby' provides the ,con-

After the centering is" thereon where the channel 6 is to be prostruction as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. .80.

It will be noted that the channel 6 is con;l

siderablyfhigher than the head 8, and this is. for the purpose of permitting the` bolt to'. the psition shown in dotted lines in Aoccupy Fig. 2 The boit should occupy this position whenv the centering is in place, and "my imfproved device is in posltion awaiting the introduction of the .concrete or cement. If A the bolt does not occupy thisfposition, thev centering would have to be specially constructed to accommodate the bolt, and this would be extremely annoying'and'probably fail 4of 'securing accurate results. .The boltx is .provided with-.a 'nut 9 angle piece 10 by i hold the ornamentation 13 as shown lnpFlg. 1, orvmay be kused to support a late, or woodwork 14 as also illustrated in ig. I. A I am not limiting myself of course to .the gp aratus which may be supported from thel end pieces crete fromm entering within the interior of -o whichlsuitable angle pieces 10v and llmay besecured.' The means of the bolt 12 may f be noted moreclearly .1

` los When the device is first mounted in place v15, 15 'are provided to' close up to prevent theoonlfrom Fig. l that the projections provided than lwould be necessary merely to shear the projectingl portion of the concrete.

IVhile I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, I do not'lnean to limit myself to this precise construction and arrangement,but

Having thus set forth my inventiomwhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. In a device of the character described the combination with a metal frame comprising a head or channel portion closed at its top and sides and having flange portions projecting` inwardly from the lower 'extremity of each side portion but spaced apart so as to provide an opening or slot, the flange portions offering supportfor a headed bolt, closely engaging the shank of the same, said fiange vportions being extended downwardly and outwardly to form a Haring chamber within which the bolt shank and its engaging nut may be carried during the molding of concrete about the hanger support.

2. In a device of the character described the combination with a metal frame comprising a head or flangev portion closed at its top and sides and having channel portions projecting inwardly from the lower extremity of each side portion but spaced apart so as to provide'an opening or slot, the ange portions offering support for a headed bolt, closely engaging the shank of the same, said flange portions being extended downwardly and outwardly to form a flaring chamber within which the bolt shank and its engaging nut may be carried during the molding of concrete about the hanger support, said flange members at their lower extremities terminating in horizontal diverging eXtensions whose outer surfaces are ada ptcd to. lie iush with the surface of the concrete body aforesaid.

In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 22nd day of July A. D., 1910.
